Louisiana SB136 updates the boundaries of the 39 Senate districts in Louisiana based on the 2020 census data. The bill specifies the precincts that make up each district, ensuring that the districts are apportioned as equally as possible. The new districts will be effective for the 2027 elections and all subsequent elections. The bill also repeals the previous redistricting law, R.S. 24:35.1, and replaces it with the new provisions outlined in this act.
